Fellow Designers, Visual Developers, and NoCoders, Webstudio Beta, an Open Source alternative to Webflow, is now live on Product Hunt 😸 🎉 It is our first production-grade version! Here is why we are so excited about it 🧵🧵🧵

1. Community-first approach, open development: Got some ideas for improvement? Share them directly with our core team

2. Ownership and Privacy: No Google tracking by default and free GDPR-compliance hosting with the option to self-host. You own what you build, whether it is your site or your data.

3. Performance: Got a need for speed? At Webstudio, you will get WebP-optimized images, a @Cloudflare workers-based cloud, and super-efficient rendering thanks to @remix_run Check out our metrics

@remix_run 4. Design Tokens - yep, no more classes-related headaches. Managing CSS classes is a thing of the past. You get local styles first approach, we create classes for you. No global class naming. Once you are ready to reuse styles - create a Design Token.

@remix_run 5. Pricing - You can build a production site or experiment for free with Webstudio Cloud. We only monetize high-traffic sites and the advanced capabilities that are primarily used for client work.

Those 5 things are just the baseline, we built the entire architecture to actually have the features that we will lauch this year: 1. Real-time Collaboration: multiple designers and visual developers will be able to collaborate in real-time on Webstudio at no extra charge, just like in Figma!

2. Backend Versatility - no more limits to what CMSs and databases you can use. You will use CMSs like WordPress, Sanity, Airtable, or Notion, Supabase as if they were built in, even though they are separate UIs!

3. Native Extensibility - You get to add features as if they were built into the platform through React components and Figma-style plugins. Your own or community-build React components will be deployed to your Cloudflare Worker with Webstudio Cloud. Think of it as of "npm install radix-ui"

4. AI - yes. We are working on one of the most advanced multi-stage GPT integration. Automation is a huge part of the UX and not only with AI. We have a few more neat things that will announce over time, stay tuned!

@ProductHunt Congrats! Can't wait to integrate with Supabase soon.
